Mayweather retirement should extinguish talk of Pacquiao rematch

With Floyd Mayweather Jr. adding millions more to his already stout bank account following a 10-round demolition of Conor McGregor on Sunday, it is highly unlikely that Manny Pacquiao will ever get the rematch he once doggedly pursued against “Money May.”

He acknowledged that he came out of his two-year retirement just to fight McGregor, adding that he also wanted to make up for his “safety first” performance in the Pacquiao fight which he won via unanimous decision.

“I think we gave the fans what they wanted to see,” Mayweather said, referring to the way he methodically cut down the bigger McGregor.
